Dr. Rat's Mother

Psst! Hey guys!

Alright, so it's been a LONG time since I've done anything with the Desert Shadow site, but I certainly haven't ditched it. Though I never posted it back in the day, about a year ago in the summer of 2011, I worked on a remake of Desert Shadow, refining the story and art, and I had drawn the first few pages. And now I want to go back and remake my remake even more! Which is partially silly I guess, but the point I'm making here is that Desert Shadow still burns in my mind.

The fact of the matter really just is that the characters of Desert Shadow have stuck with my every since I created them. Skeptical is still like my personal mascot, and Mr. Bunny just pops up everywhere in my doodles. I just can't let them go that easily.. And as for webcomicking, well.. I may grow old and mature and all that, but I'll still love making comics. And I hope my sense of humor and art only get better.

Which brings me to the real point of this post. Lately, I've started drawing random one-off comics jsut for fun, and I decided to go ahead and make another site to dump them in. For those interested in checking it out, here you go!

Enjoy! And if you're still visiting Desert Shadow today, so many years after its end, I just have to say thanks for stopping by, whether you're new or just happened to remember this little comic. :)

Though I know it's been several months since I last updated Desert Shadow, and everyone who used to read this comic has probably stopped visiting this site, I just remembered Desert Shadow recently and thought I should make a news post to affirm that fact which you visitors have probably long since suspected: I, Tiff AKA Shadowfiles of Desert Shadow, have no intention of continuing to update this comic.

I won't pretend that I've been super busy and just put the comic on hold or anything like that. I just no longer wish to be the creator of Desert Shadow, at least as it is. There is a possibility in the future that I might rewrite Desert Shadow from the ground up, but unless that future comes, you should mark your webcomics list that Desert Shadow is no longer updated.

Otherwise, I'd like to say that although Desert Shadow was relatively short-lived as webcomics go, I had a good run. I worked hard on this comic while I updated it, and I really improved my writing skills over time, largely with the help of reader feedback!

I really do sincerely thank all of you who gave your time to take a look at this humble little corner of the internet I made. I hope you enjoyed Desert Shadow at least half as much as I enjoyed making it.
